Buying things off the Internet can be fun and economical. It can also be infuriating, frustrating, maddening, and make you want to throw furniture.

Concerning Hobbits (and Dwarves)
This December, the first of the two new Peter Jackson films based on J.R.R. Tolkien’s book The Hobbit will be released. It will be called The Hobbit, An Unexpected Journey and needless to say I can hardly wait to see it. I have been a fan of Tolkien since I was in middle school, WAY back when. I remember (and used to own) the animated versions that were put out when I was a kid. So yeah, I am totally a geek about Tolkien. And of course Kelly likes him too, else we would not have included a little Tolkien in our actual wedding ceremony. No, we did not have anyone dressed up in costume or anything*, but we did use the Song of the Entwives instead of a traditional psalm.
Officially faster Intertubes and new e-mail

Fab.com does it again
During today’s steady stream of email, this one made me laugh. This is from an artist who does modern quasi advertising art and political mockery in the style of 30’s through 50’s advertising. And, it is quite good.
Nice to be back in the 21st century
So we have done it. As of yesterday, we have a new ISP and thus a faster, more reliable Internet connection. I had to make some minor adjustments to the home network, but generally speaking it all seems to be a dramatic improvement so far. I can’t believe how much faster this is, after fighting with the crappy DSL for so long. And this isn’t even close to being the highest available cable speed.
Anyway, we will be ending our old Internet service later today. So please do not continue to use my old Verizon e-mail address. It will be gone soon. For now just use my gmail address.
